SSH Port 22 Conmection Timed Out
I'm a very new user to CloudFlare. I'm trying to set up a VPC on the cloud and when trying to SSH into Port 22, it's saying the connection timed out. I believe it's because my tunnel is inactive.
Could I receive help?

Cloudflared isn't a GUI interface but a CLI one. You are going to want to open a terminal window in your Downloads and do
cloudflared-windows-amd64.exe access ssh --hostname <your hostname that is running an ssh tunnel>Mmmm... Yeah... I'm thinking manually creating tunnels and putting OS's on a cloud server is outside of my scope of expertise. I don't even know what a CLI is, but it sounds like a common term when dealing with cloud infrastructure.
I discovered Amazon Workspace has a free plan. I may as well learn the application and stick with that.
